Painting the Inside

**DeadSanta** · 06-30-2003, 12:04 AM

Just recently began painting the inside of my case, but puddles are appearing... Any way to make them go away!? They're not very attractive!

I think you're putting too much paint on per coat. Try spreading it thinner and giving it more time to dry. Also, did you clean the surface good before starting?

**DeadSanta** · 06-30-2003, 12:49 AM

Yes, I even sanded it down so it would adhear better.

How can I get rid of those puddles? Is there any way to do so?

Well I'm a perfectionist, so I would sand it down and repaint

**DeadSanta** · 06-30-2003, 12:59 AM

As am I! BLEH!

Dude it will look so much better when you're done and it's to your liking. You'll be happier

Take the time and make it right

**DeadSanta** · 06-30-2003, 01:21 AM

Yeah... I'll just keep telling myself that as I scrape all this crap off here... Little by little...

Sigh...

Post more pics when you're done so we can say it looks sweet a$$

Then it will be worth it

**DeadSanta** · 06-30-2003, 01:35 AM

How about this?

Yay! this is SO much fun!!
Sigh...

There has gotta be an easier way. I'm just too n00b to figure it out.

Bummer dude. Sand it down and start again. Light coats is the answer. Also, if the surface is not clean, the paint will puddle. It must be cleaned with a substance that doesn't leave a residue. I prefer acetone myself. When you apply the paint, don't worry if it doesn't look even. That will come with subsequent LIGHT coats. Good luck and happy painting.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Won't paint thinner get this stuff off my removables pretty easily?
'Cause it's a big bummer having to scrape it all off.

**XP1800** · 06-30-2003, 01:56 AM

Yeah man, that stuff combined with a little elbow grease should do the trick

**GLScooby** · 06-30-2003, 01:58 AM

It would depend on how thick the coats were. You can buy paint stripper in an aerosol can that you spray on, let it bubble up the paint, and wipe it off with a rag. Then you can clean it and try, try again. Careful with that stripper stuff though, it's nasty crap.

**DeadSanta** · 06-30-2003, 02:04 AM

Yeah, that'll make my day tomorrow when I burn off my fingers!

I can't wait till I get this all finished... Hopefully it'll look sweet. Expect loads of pictures!

Good luck man
